5:34 am
there is no doubt that israel's goal is ethnic cleansing of palestinians in gaza. situation in gaza is absolutely catastrophic. the zionist terrorist regime is not only killing palestinians, particularly children and women and the elderly by hiding them into... so callalled safe zones and then bombing them there by blocking the raffa crossing which is now into its 72nd day and preventing these critically injured people from going abroad essentially to to egypt or places beyond to receive treatment is absolutely barbaric, it shows the inhumare nature of the zionists and the way that they are conducting their... their bombing
5:35 am
campaigns, it is now clear to everybody that the zient entities objective is to ethnically cleanse the whole of gaza. from the palestinian people and they are prepared to go to any lens to kill as many people as possible, you in your report earlier, it was mentioned that more than 38800 palestinians have been killed, but few days ago launch it, the british journal, the british medical journal actually estimated that perhaps as many as 18600 palestinians might have been killed, so we can see that this is absolutely a horrendous. situation that the palestinian people are facing in gaza. you an agency for palestinian refugees on ruba says at least eight schools have been targeted by israeli strikes in gaza during the past 10 days. unro commissioner general felipe balazzarini says

5:38 am
every christian uh, like myself, is on the side of the palestinian people, and it is incumbant on us as well, but unfortunately the united states is strangle held by the zionist lobby, but i would like to see turkey and jordan and syria and saudi arabia and iran and and uh pakistan, in malaysia and uh parts of africa come together in a massive humanitarian uh aid, our uh floatilla uh landing, i would like to see them declare uh the palestinian gaza area as a uh as a uh uh owned or controlled or leased to the international body. muslim nation. the islamic resistance in iraq says it has carried out new retaliatory operation against an israeli target and the occupied palestinian territories. the umbrella group said it used drones to hit vital targets in

5:43 am
antisemitism, but i think the ideological, the political newspapers and the groups or let me say research centers, they use that for political reasons, trying to silence anyone criticize israel, the cancellation of the press conference of the italian parliament. goes beyond as my campaign against the palestinian who runs a human rights organization in ramalla during the press conference, law makers from number of opposition parties, including the democratic party, the five star movement and the green and left alliance were supposed to discuss what role italy could play in gaza in view of sice fire and the recognition of the palestinian statehood by rome. because of this pressure italy cowardly abstains from voting. in favor of crucial un seasfire resolutions and palestine's statoot related resolutions. it's not just that. another
5:44 am
result of this pressure in our government is that italy continues to provide weapons to israel filing the killing of tens of thousands of innocent civilians in palestine. we don't want to be accomplices of terrorism and criminal policies. italy must play significant role in recognizing palestine as a state. the press conference with italian law makers and has been postponed to later date. the italian government has maintained a stent of unconditional support for israel's genocidal war in gaza. however, public opinion surveys have consistently shown that a large number of italians are opposed to the ongoing gaza massacre and its impact on the civilian population there. press tv. rome.

5:48 am
especially the israeli cruelty against palestinians, abdullahi, press tv, and china has called out a nato for creating chaos and making interferences anywhere it goes. that was the topic of our news review. let's take a listen. it's time now for the news review of this bulleton. "china's permanence representative to the un has blamed nato and certain countries for sowing discord, putting security at risk in their influence zones. history has amply proved that wherever nato's hand extends, turmoil and chaos will insue. we urge nato and certain countries to reflect on themselves and stop being the trouble
5:49 am
makers who jeopardize common security at the expense of others." also criticized some countries for imposing unilateral sanctions under security pretext, which he said only disrupts supply chains, added that will ultimately lead to a situation where no one wins. he also touched upon ucaine and because of wars. he accused nato of seeking to expand its influence with false narratives and even shifting blame for the ukraine crisis on external parties. the remarks came during security council debate. chaired by russia and multilateral cooperation to help create more just, democratic and sustainable world order. china and russia have long criticizing the us for its unilateral actions in international arena. they argue that washington's disregard for the interest of other countries bringing stability. harley
5:50 am
schlanger, spokesman of the international schiller institute from ponstam, germany, joins us. we also have. so harley schlanger, when you want to take a look at what china is saying, it's a a clash of what's world order they see in their views and what the us sees, what makes the us think that their world order is the one and the just one where china undemocratic and it threatens. uh the world order according to the way the us sees it? i think the best way to look it is the u.s. has an arrogance toward the rest of the world, and the arrogance leads to... the delusion that there's only one way that nations should relate each other, and that's with the idea of a unipolar order, which is backed up by us
5:51 am
and nato military. there was just the nato summit at washington d.c., and what the chinese ambassador was was talking about is nato made decision to expand to asia as well as to increase the amount of american presence in europe, so... "on the one side you have the attempt to surround russia completely and now to surround china and at the same time to continue to support israel in the war of genocide against the palestinians in gaza, so there's nothing that justifies, there's no, the united states is not the source of justice in the world, in fact it's a source of much of the injustice, the wars, the sanctions by the way, besides killing people as they have in in..." iraq and and yemen and libya, the sanctions policy is driving the rest of the world away from the united states and the u.s. is losing all credibility, so you can only have a blind,
5:52 am
arrogant delusion in the minds of the western policy makers, and that's the problem, well john, i don't need to tell you, i'm sure you are well aware of one of the facts that stands out with the us, and that is that the the so-called defense budget, they call it is 10 times more than the other country 10 countries combined. um they are have a militaristic approach and that is very evident when we take a look at the different conflicts around the world uh so how can they think that that is the right approach as opposed to what china is preaching, i'm not trying to say one is uh better than the other, but surely uh there's got to be better way than just militarily approaching uh problems. well, first of all, the pro we have the expression in english, the proof is in the thing, in other words, once you cook something, you taste it and you see what the results are. china has been maintaining that war is not the way to go for decades. china is now the leading economy in the world. they have overtaken the united states in several
5:53 am
key sectors and will overtake the united states in the remaining sectors in the near future. that that leaves the united states in a losing position economically, which causes them to step to their back foot. it's actually their front foot, which is war. nato is nothing more than a war alliance. war machine. china has had to defend itself and is building up its defenses in response, but it is nowhere near the united states in terms of power projection against others. china has one aircraft car carrier. america has 22, but since the arrival of the kinjal rocket, which can sync all 22 american aircraft carriers in 5 minutes. the... all has come for the american empire. if there is a war between china and america, just few rockets will equal the score, and this is a result of
